Question
What clinical symptoms may appear in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Most children will experience throat pain after tonsillitis, especially when swallowing. They may also have low or high fever (39-40 degrees Celsius), feel fatigue, headache, body aches, and chills. Additionally, upon close observation, you may notice that the child’s tonsils are red and swollen. If treatment is delayed, some children may develop severe complications such as nephritis and pericarditis. Therefore, if your child exhibits these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
